| Description: | 97 De Wwa / 96 Ws / 95 Ko / 95 JS. Floral and red fruit nose. Supple attack, very polished and concentrated, with fine-grained tannins and ample acidity. This has a linear drive, precision. and a very long finish. The rewards will be substantial for the patient consumer.-Decanter World Wine Awards. On the savory side, this red opens with freshly mowed grass, hay and eucalyptus aromas before revealing cherry, strawberry, rose and mineral flavors. Fleshy, with a matrix of dense tannins flexing their muscles on the finish. Shows excellent potential. Best from 2023 through 2042. 1,000 cases made, 250 cases imported.-Bruce Sanderson, Wine Spectator. Rose, red berry, wild herb and baking spice aromas take center stage on this fragrant, elegant red. Loaded with finesse, the full-bodied palate delivers strawberry compote, star anise and cinnamon alongside a mineral note evoking rusty nail. Taut, polished tannins and bright acidity provide the age-worthy framework. Drink 2024–2046.-Kern-O'Keefe. A creamy and juicy red with cedar and meat to the plum and berry undertones. It's medium-to full-bodied, fruity and flavorful. Hints of fudge and hazelnuts. Very drinkable now, but better after 2022.-James Suckling |
